Pew – States Begin Giving Drivers Licenses to Young Immigrants

Daniel C. Vock – Licenses for young immigrants: “Only three states let illegal immigrants drive, but the Obama administrations decision to stop deporting some undocumented students, veterans, and recent high-school and college graduates will give them driving privileges in more than a dozen additional states. Most of the states did nothing on their own to grant the immigrants driving privilegesCalifornia is the only one that changed its laws to explicitly permit the expansion. On the contrary, officials in a handful of the affected states have scrambled to block the licenses from being issued, prompting a political backlash in Michigan and yet another immigration-related lawsuit in Arizona.”
